Advantages and Disadvantages of Celebrities Publicly Supporting Social and Political Causes (153)

My personal opinion about the advantages and disadvantages of celebrities publicly supporting social and political causes is that it is not an easy topic to deal with since it will just depend mainly on the celebrity and secondly on your point of view or opinion regarding him or her.

On the one hand, and because celebrities are very well-known people, the events where they appear may get more publicity than others and they can help raise amazing amounts of money for good causes.

On the other hand, due to the fact that celebrities have almost instant access to the media, they could influence people’s opinion for or against a specific question. Furthermore, people sometimes believe celebrities’ opinions without doing their own research.

To sum up, whether to be in favour or against the appearance of famous people in public or social causes is a difficult question which presents both for and against views.
